It was currently 2:45 a.m. when Dick Grayson shot up in bed, plagued by nightmares. Tears streamed down his face as he recalled what occurred in the dream.

It was a simple recon mission. Just observe and report afterward. Unfortunately, that's not what happened at all. The villains had been expecting the heroes to arrive.

Alas, the team of young heroes were forced to fight high class villains ranging from The Joker to Deathstroke himself. It was obvious from the beginning that they were going to lose, but they fought on anyways.

Miss Martian was fighting Queen Bee.

Artemis was fighting Sportsmaster.

Kaldur was battling with the Joker.

Superboy was currently dueling with Lex Luther.

Kid Flash was forced to fight Captain Cold.

And Robin was fighting Deathstroke.

Suddenly, Robin heard his team leader announce through the teams mind link,"Retreat! Head back to the bio-ship."

Robin did as he was told, turning his back on Deathstroke: his first mistake.

"Robin, watch out!" Rather than looking back towards Deathstroke, he looked towards the source of the voice: his second mistake. His boyfriend, Kid Flash, had been the one to call out the warning, noticing the mercenary pulling a gun to the teens head.

Robin had no time to react once he finally saw the gun. He was only able to wince and hope for the best right before he heard the loud suspenseful "bang" resonate from the weapon.

Though he felt no pain. Hell, the fact that he could even feel and wasn't dead was a miracle!

Then he looked to see the reason why he had survived. Wally West, stood in front of him, his mouth slightly agape, blood beginning to stain his yellow uniform.

"No!" Everything else blurred. The villains, his remaining team members- all that was left now was his boyfriend, currently dying in front of him.

"Wally! No! Please!" Dick feel to the ground along with the speedster.

"I'm sorry." Wally mumbled quietly.

"No, no, don't say that. Everything is going to be okay." Robin knew that wasn't the truth, but he needed some kind of reassurance.

"Dick... I should have been fast enough to avoid the bullet... Heh, you were right... I should have trained more.... I'm sorry." Tears were falling from both of their eyes.

"Wally, you can't leave me. I-I need you. P-please!"

"Dick, I love you. Y-you were the best boyfriend I-I could ever ask for. I'm just glad to have lived a life with you i-in
it,"His eyes began to slowly close,"Tell Barry and Iris that I'm grateful for them taking me in.... "

"Wally, stop! You'll be fine! You'll be able to tell them yourself!" He placed his boyfriends head on his lap. This was all of his fault. He shouldn't have been so stupid to have turned his back on a highly trained assassin,"It should have been me...."

Wally looked as if he wanted to counter that, but he had no energy left. He merely had enough left in him to speak three words,"I love you...."

Dick immediately picked up the phone from his nightstand and dialed his boyfriends number,"Please... please pick up....."

After what seemed like forever, a sleepy voice answered on the other end,"Hmm?"

"Wally! You're okay?" The panic in Dicks voice was obvious. It was enough to wake up the speedster.

"Yeah, of course I'm fine. Babe, is something wrong?"

"Uh... no, no. I just- I just really wanted to hear your voice...." The shaking in Dicks voice was obvious. 

"Was it a nightmare?"

Dick didn't respond and Wally took that as his cue to say,"Give me 5 minutes. I'll be there as soon as I can."

Dick wasn't sure how long it took Wally to get there, but once he was there, Dick couldn't let go of him.

The speedster smiled slightly at his antic as he ran his hands through the ebony's hair,"You want to talk about it?"

Dick shook his head.

"Fine, but at least let go so I can get in bed. It's too early to be awake." Dick did as he was told and slipped under the covers along with Wally.

Wally wrapped his arms around the younger teen, Dick responding by snuggling into his chest,"Wally, please don't ever leave me."

The meta human was taken aback slightly
by the statement,"Of course not... I love you too much to do that."

Dick seems satisfied enough with that, finally calming down and slowly letting himself fall asleep,"Goodnight, Wally."

"Goodnight, Dick."

Ehhh that was okayyy I guesssss. Could have been better. Might go back and revise.
